I love that it includes newly added parts of Gotham (like Burnside) along with all of the classic neighborhoods and fixtures. It really is a great book. Personally, I love the style they went with for the illustrations. It’s probably just me, but I’d love to see a Bat-comic drawn in that style!

Very cool book but at 50 pages I’m not sure if paying the full retail price is worth it. With books like these, I need a good balance of written text along with illustrations.

A chapter with a version of a Zagat guide to Gotham restaurants and eateries would be a nice touch.
